It's 2025: Microsoft's Terrifying GitHub Request
The year is 2025. Microsoft has fully absorbed GitHub, and the dystopian nightmare begins. GitHub users cower in fear as Microsoft whispers "Come closer..." only to drop the bombshell: "I NEED YOU TO ADD IPV6 SUPPORT TO GITHUB." It's the ultimate plot twist! After all the fears of Microsoft injecting telemetry, ads, or subscription tiers into GitHub, they're just desperately trying to drag their acquisition into modern networking standards. Still running on legacy IPv4 in 2025? That's the real horror story! The internet ran out of IPv4 addresses years ago, but GitHub's still clinging to them like SpongeBob to his spatula.

VSphere Is Still Pretty Great, But...
Server admin calmly stating "vSphere is still pretty great" until someone mentions "BROADCOM." Then the rage sets in. It's like mentioning printer drivers at an IT party - instant mood killer. For the uninitiated, Broadcom acquired VMware (maker of vSphere) and proceeded to change licensing models faster than developers change their minds about frameworks. Nothing says "enterprise stability" like your virtualization provider getting acquired and immediately making your budget explode.

Good Bye, Old Friend
Microsoft taking Skype behind the shed is the tech equivalent of Old Yeller. After acquiring Skype for $8.5 billion in 2011, Microsoft has been slowly putting it out of its misery while Teams gets all the attention. The once-revolutionary VoIP platform is now just waiting for the final bullet as Microsoft prepares its eulogy. The irony? They're killing it with the same cold efficiency that Skype used to kill your CPU resources.

THE CORPORATE EXECUTION SCENE WE NEVER WANTED! Microsoft taking Skype behind the shed like it's Old Yeller is the tech tragedy of our time! 💔 After buying Skype for a CASUAL $8.5 BILLION in 2011, Microsoft is now basically putting it out of its misery as Teams becomes the golden child. The classic "acquire then retire" move that makes tech enthusiasts scream into their mechanical keyboards. Pour one out for those iconic notification sounds that interrupted COUNTLESS important meetings! You'll be remembered fondly... until we completely forget about you next week.
